Daily Dealer Briefing
5-minute morning briefing: aging inventory alerts and competitor price drops
Purpose
Daily Dealer Briefing surfaces the two things a dealer needs to act on every morning: aging inventory bleeding floor plan and competitors who just dropped their prices. It uses parallel multi-agent orchestration — the lot-scanner agent pulls all aged units while the competitor price-drop scan runs simultaneously — then the lot-pricer agent prices each aged unit against the market.
The output is a morning action list with dollar impact: which aged units to reprice (and by how much), which competitors just undercut you (and on what model), and a TOP 3 ACTIONS TODAY ranked by estimated recovery value. The entire briefing runs in 3-5 minutes.
How It Works
Execution flow. MCP tool calls are shown inline on each step.
Load profile. Extract dealer_id (required), aging_threshold, franchise_brands, floor_plan_per_day. Confirm: dealer_id must exist — prompt /onboarding if missing.
↔ Parallel Execution
Spawn lot-scanner agent to pull all inventory exceeding aging threshold (default 60 DOM), sorted by DOM descending, paginating through all results.
search_active_carsFor each franchise brand, search active cars with price_change=negative in dealer's ZIP/radius. Group by dealer — 3+ drops signals inventory pressure. Flag UNDERCUT alerts.
predict_price_with_comparablesAfter lot-scanner returns: spawn lot-pricer agent to price top 15 aged units by DOM. Each gets a predicted market price, price gap, and recommended action.
Combine aging inventory table + floor plan burn total + competitor alerts + TOP 3 ACTIONS TODAY with dollar impact estimates.
MCP Tool Calls
| Tool | Calls | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
search_active_cars | 1-3 | Competitor price-drop scan per franchise brand in dealer's market |
predict_price_with_comparables | up to 15 | Market price prediction for each aged unit via lot-pricer agent |

Cost Estimate
22 daily runs/month ≈ $2.20 – $6.40/month
Limitations
- Requires dealer_id in profile — the lot-scanner agent cannot pull dealer-specific inventory without it. Run /onboarding to set this up.
- Lot-pricer is US-only. UK dealers receive inline comp-median pricing instead.
- Competitor price-drop scan covers franchise brand models only for independent dealers or by franchise_brands list for franchise dealers.
- Top 15 aged units are priced per run — very large lots (>100 aged units) may require a full weekly review for complete coverage.
- UK competitor price tracking may not be available if search_uk_active_cars does not support price_change filter.
